Wait, now rice is bad for you, too?
Eating rice once a day can increase arsenic levels in the body by up to 44 percent , according to new research from Consumer Reports.
The organization recently tested 200 samples of different rice products
– from organic rice baby cereal and brown rice to rice crispies- and
found alarmingly high levels of arsenic present. This has raised concern
as inorganic arsenic is know to cause lung, skin and bladder cancers, as well as a host of other lifelong health problems.
